When it comes to Sirius radio receivers, consumers have never had more choices available to them than they do today. From the very simple yet functional Stiletto 10 all the way up through the latest Stiletto 2, these little devices all have a variety of interesting functionality. For example, the Stiletto series is able to double as an MP3 player, in addition to being able to receive a satellite radio signal. For the subscribers, MP3 players with satellite radio capabilities are really the ideal way to be able to listen to their favorite broadcasting channels, from Howard Stern to Martha Stewart as well as the music stored from their home PC.

The top of the line in the Stiletto series of Sirius MP3 players is the Stiletto 2. The Stiletto 2 has a number of exciting and useful features. For example it features the ability to use either the satellite signal to receive broadcasting or to use any available Wi-Fi network. This provides the user with a great deal of flexibility. It can sometimes be difficult to receive the regular satellite signal when you are inside of large building for an extended period of time. The Wi-Fi option changes all of that, making sure that your access to Sirius radio is maximized. The Stiletto 2 even features a MicroSD slot that will allow you to bring your own MP3 library along with you.

The next in the line of Sirius MP3 players, the Stiletto SL100, has many of the same features as its new big brother. Like the Stiletto 2, it can access satellite radio via a Wi-Fi network and use the built-in MP3 player to record up to 100 hours of programming. I guess you could call it TiVo for your car. The SL100 does not have the MicroSD slot, however. Both versions in the Stiletto family have an option for a car kit, allowing you to use the Stiletto SL100 just about anywhere.

At the lower end of portable satellite radio with MP3 spectrum is the Stiletto 10 Sirius MP3 player. This basic model still provides the user with the ability to listen to satellite radio as well as play a limited amount of MP3 selections. Like the other Stiletto models, it 10 is portable, and can be used in your home, your car, and any other place that you are able to receive the Sirius satellite signal. Since the release of the new Stiletto 2, the availability of this model has been wearing thin. Keep this in mind if you are looking to move forward with this and understand that the Stiletto 10 is considered older technology and not as popular anymore. That being said, it is also possible to find good deals on these models now if you are more concerned with price and functionality.
